Review:
"A rousing good story, a rich tapestry of charming rogues, hustlers, and gritty ballparks that brings to sparkling life the game of baseball as it was played a century ago."--Doris Kearns Goodwin "A wonderfully intelligent combination of business and sports history. It possesses the pace, sense of character, and evocative power of a novel."--The Boston Globe "This is a wonderful book, a fine historical account that not only throws light on some of the game's current issues--but also records the mercantile tradition and civic pride of one of America's earliest great cities."--Lee Smith, GQ "Not only does Burt Solomon bring to life the legends of old-time baseball, he does so while detailing how the team owners double-crossed each other, stole players, and squeezed salaries to the bone. I discovered that the business of baseball at the turn of the century was as vicious and complicated as it is today."--Peter Golenbock, author of Bums
